FullContact: Heck yeah, we’re from Denver

Welcome to our feature highlighting the numerous Colorado tech companies that make cool stuff. These little snippets are intended for readers to explore the technology being made right here. One company at a time, of course.

FullContact

FullContact takes contacts from your phone, e-mail and social networks (if you let it) and puts them in one spot sans duplicates. Venture capitalist Brad Feld of Foundry Group liked it so much he invested in the company — and loaned out his mug and contact info (yes, that is his e-mail address but no, that’s not his phone number).

If you live on the web, your address book is probably one hot mess full of duplicates, triplicates and gazooplicates. FullContact, a 2011 graduate of Boulder’s Techstars accelerator program, promises to clean that up for free and keep all the digital contacts updated. How so? It combs “public information” and updates free accounts monthly, paid accounts daily. Those sources include “hundreds of public websites, social networks, APIs, trusted partners and users of our service.” FullContact merges everything about that contact into one entry — and links to that person’s Twitter or Facebook account if you gave it permission to scrape those accounts. There is some manual stuff to do to get more out of your address book, like adding tags and notes to a person’s entry. But that’s about it. One nifty feature is its mobile app can take a picture of a business card, transcribe it and add that person automatically to your contacts — just three clicks.Headquarters: 1755 Blake St Suite 450 in DenverFounded: 2010Founders: Bart Lorang, Travis Todd and Dan LynnEmployees: 72, with 63 in ColoradoRecent news: Investors see its potential and in March, Baird Capital and other venture firms invested $10 million , bringing its total funding to $20 million.Contact: (888) 330-6943 or support.fullcontact.comHome on the Web: fullcontact.com
